As mentioned before: growisofs does not correctly follow the SCSI standard and as a result, it does not work with all drives. In addition, growisofs does not know about firmware bugs and this also causes problems with some drives. It's source is compiled using the C++ compiler, but inside it looks like assembly. If the original author does no longer support it, more than small changes are not worth being done. I would be interested if anyone misses specific features from growisofs in cdrecord.
